KidsMatter recently recognized 22 Naperville-area students with the Youth Service Award for their honorable volunteer contributions to local nonprofits.

“It’s always inspiring to see our community’s young people giving back to causes that matter to them — supporting local organizations in their vital work and learning what it means to help others,” said Nina Menis, CEO and Executive Director of KidsMatter said in a news release.“I’m confident that these outstanding young people will carry their commitment to service with them into adulthood.”

At an Oct. 16 ceremony held in council chambers at the Naperville Municipal Center, Mayor Scott Wehrli and the Naperville City Council presented the students with the award for their support of local organizations.
